Let AI Handle the Time-Consuming Work
Takeoff BOOST is a suite of AI tools built right into PlanSwift. It handles the measuring, counting, scaling, and bookmarking that used to eat your day. Your time goes back to the parts of the bid only you can do.
AI generates areas, lengths, counts, and wall types across your plans automatically. Start reviewing instead of measuring.
Point at one instance of a symbol and AI finds every match across your entire plan set automatically.
Auto Scale reads title blocks and sets the correct scale across every sheet — no manual entry required.
AI maps plan sheets to their detail sheets, letting you jump between them without hunting through the set.
Takeoff BOOST availability varies by subscription tier. Auto Count, Auto Scale, and Auto Bookmark are included with PlanSwift Core.
One Tool: From First Click to Final Bid
Most takeoff tools stop at the measurement. PlanSwift does the whole thing in one place: measure it, price it, send the bid. It’s built to feel natural from your very first job. Takeoff BOOST handles the manual work for you while you stay in control of every number.
1
Point and Click
Measure areas, lengths, and counts by pointing and clicking right on your plans (PDF, CAD, and image files). It's simple enough to pick up on your first job, and AI takes the heavy clicks off your plate.
2
Drag and Drop
Drop in your material, labor, and waste assemblies, and the estimate builds itself as you measure. Takeoff and pricing live together, so there’s no second tool to buy, and nothing to learn twice.
3
Review and Export
Check the numbers, then send your bid to Excel or your estimating system. You’re in control from the first click to the final total.
Built to Give Every Trade Hours Back
PlanSwift adapts to the way you estimate. Takeoff BOOST adds AI speed to the same workflow, whatever you bid.
